  So guys, welcome back the importance of routine for
• 1:35
  autism. A lot of people will always ask
• 1:37
  about this. Now autism is a neurological
• 1:41
  condition as we all know, and it has certain characteristics that
• 1:44
  come with it. Now one of the main kind of
• 1:46
  traits of characteristics of autism is repetitive behaviour
• 1:49
  or a tendency to to have affinity for routine.
• 1:54
  Why? It's a really big question and
• 1:56
  I'm going to answer it right now just after I tell you if you
• 1:59
  want to download my free autism Wi-Fi PDF book, you can do at
• 2:02
  autismhacks.net right now. It's completely free.
• 2:05
  Link is down below. So autism and routines like this
• 2:08
  is the thing about routine, OK? When you are a routine, that's
• 2:11
  something that you do passively and you know that you're going
• 2:14
  to do the same thing every day. So it could be getting up,
• 2:16
  having conflicts, sitting on your sofa and watching SpongeBob
• 2:19
  SquarePants until 11 AM and then you go out and do a workout,
• 2:22
  right? If you did that every single
• 2:23
  day, that is your routine. Now, the reason autistic people
• 2:25
  gravitate towards us on why it's so important for artistic people
• 2:28
  to have these routines is because autism comes with an
• 2:31
  inability to regulate emotions around changes or surprise kind
• 2:35
  of impromptu events. So say you have a sudden change
• 2:39
  in plans. This could throw an autistic
• 2:40
  person off for the rest of the day.
• 2:42
  However, if you knew what was going to happen, if you could
• 2:44
  predict if you have predictability in your day, you
• 2:46
  can relax in that. So routine offers
• 2:49
  predictability. Autistic people love
• 2:51
  predictability and love to have that predictability along a, a
• 2:54
  longer period of time over a space of, you know, their entire
• 2:58
  life. If they could, if they could
• 3:00
  predict the routine for everything, they would.
• 3:02
  You'll see all sorts of people over plan for things because
• 3:04
  they want to predict the routine.
• 3:05
  They want to predict what's going to happen next.
• 3:07
  And by predicting what happens next, you have calmness, you
• 3:10
  have the ability to relax into something, which is very
• 3:13
  important. So routine for an uncertain
• 3:15
  person is kind of like a coolly comfy blanket of comfortable, I
• 3:19
  know what's going to happen next.
• 3:20
  This is why it's important and it should never be made fun of.
• 3:23
  It should never be something that's disqualified.
• 3:24
  It should be something that is. Validated and and accepted
• 3:28
  because that's what I see people enjoy in life.
• 3:31
  Yes, we have to deviate from those plans every now and then,
• 3:33
  which can become essentially stressful for autistic
• 3:35
  individuals, but I think the importance of routine is healthy
• 3:38
  and it's good for autism. If you have anything to add, pop
